Description

Step into a unique investment opportunity in eastern El Paso County, Colorado, offering multiple income sources and development potential. This productive ranch spans a large footprint just outside of Calhan and within reasonable distance of Colorado Springs. With road frontage on both Heaston Road and Ramah Highway, access is excellent for agricultural use, future expansion, or a potential residential build site. The property offers a mix of agricultural productivity, renewable energy income, and outdoor recreation appeal.

Six windmills situated on the ranch are under active contracts through 2040, and the current agreements will convey with the sale. These wind leases provide a reliable long-term income source while supporting Colorado’s renewable energy network. The ranch also benefits from an active grazing lease, which maintains its agricultural tax status and generates seasonal revenue from August through December. Cattle graze the native grasses and utilize several natural ponds located throughout the property, ensuring dependable access to water for livestock and wildlife alike.

A 1904 farmhouse sits on the property and is currently tenant-occupied, adding a third stream of income for the new owner. The home provides a functional base of operations or a continued rental opportunity. Its location near the county’s maintained roadways allows for convenient travel to Calhan, Colorado Springs, or the nearby rural communities that make up this productive region of the state. The farmhouse and all improvements are included in the sale and are being sold in as-is condition.

The rolling plains of this ranch support a healthy population of Pronghorn Antelope, making it an attractive hunting property located within Game Management Unit 111. The combination of open grassland, natural water, and consistent agricultural management contributes to the strong game presence in the area. Hunting opportunities align naturally with the ranch’s other uses, creating a balanced mix of recreation and investment.

For those looking toward the future, this property’s proximity to Colorado Springs and its dual road frontage offer strong potential for future development or expansion. The region continues to grow, yet properties of this size and with such diverse revenue sources remain increasingly rare. The ranch offers the flexibility to continue its current agricultural and energy income streams, pursue development possibilities, or establish a homestead or rural retreat with excellent access to both town and countryside.

This El Paso County ranch represents a sound opportunity to own productive acreage with renewable energy income, grazing returns, tenant rent, and potential for recreational and development uses—all within driving distance of the Colorado Front Range.
